Twenty-three years of building — a nonprofit, a business, a life — while fighting for credit that was never in question. In this first letter, Mandy traces the line from selling bracelets and cotton candy parking lot to parking lot, to a pregnancy that became a reckoning with God, to the muse who confirmed what she already knew: this was real. She unpacks what it actually means to be a "provider," why the system rewards passengers who call themselves the man, and how moving next door — just next door — changed everything. This one ends with a line you'll want to clip.Show Notes:The 23-year fight for credit — and why it was never about self-doubtFrom bracelets to cotton candy: the hustle that taught her to condense effort and maximize returnThe pregnancy and the quiet conversation with God that became "the snap"Montana, the muse, and the stranger who validated the dream before he ever tried toBuilding the nonprofit and the LLC while being called a scamMoving next door: why proximity to negativity is its own kind of drainRedefining "provider" — and calling out the passenger dressed as the manThe closing line: "You were the lesson.

What happens when young people are only shown one version of what it means to be a man?Ashanti Branch sits down with educator, spoken word artist, and author Gabriel Mizunaka to explore the experiences, mentors, and moments that shaped his journey as a teacher and creative voice.Together, they discuss the masks men wear, the pressures young people face in defining masculinity, and the role poetry can play in helping students express emotions that often go unspoken. Gabriel shares how a simple classroom opportunity changed the course of his life and why educators should never underestimate the impact they have on students.This episode is a reminder that authenticity is not weakness. When young people are given permission to express who they truly are, they begin to discover the strength that has been there all along.How one classroom moment introduced Gabriel to spoken word poetryWhy educators often underestimate their influence on studentsThe power of creating spaces where young people can express their emotionsHow poetry can unlock conversations students struggle to have out loudWhy many boys are taught a limited view of masculinityThe difference between appearing strong and being emotionally healthyHow silence, avoidance, and bottled-up emotions affect young menWhy students are constantly learning from what educators model, not just what they teachThe importance of male role models who demonstrate empathy and vulnerabilityHow social media influences the way young people define manhoodWhy teachers cannot carry the responsibility for every student's outcomeThe value of recognizing indirect moments of impact in educationHow authentic relationships help young people embrace who they areWhy there is more than one way to be a manThe connection between creativity, identity, and emotional well-beingConnect with Gabriel MizunakaInstagram: @mizuonthemicTikTok: @mizuonthemicBook: To the Student That . . .: A collection of poems for students (and teachers) for the classroomConnect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/ #UnMASKingWithMaleEducatoreEducators #MillionMaskMovement #EverForwardClub #UnmaskingWithMaleEducators #UnmaskingWithMaleEducators #HealthyMasculinity #EducationPodcast #TeacherLife #StudentVoice #EmotionalIntelligence
You have read these stories your whole life in English, and the entire time, something was missing. The first two words of the Bible echo each other. Names carry hidden meanings.Foreigners speak with an accent built right into the grammar. And buried inside the Exodus is a quiet, devastating attack on the most sacred belief in all of ancient Egypt. None of it survives translation, and almost no one has ever been told it was there.In this episode, Pastor Johnny Ova sits down with Prof. Gary Rendsburg, one of the foremost Hebrew scholars in the world, to reveal the staggering craft the biblical authors engineered into every line of Scripture. Wordplay. Puns on names. Sound patterns shaped for the ear of a listening audience. A character whose Hebrew breaks apart on the page in the middle of his panic. A lost northern dialect hiding in plain sight. And an Exodus narrative that quietly dismantles the theology of ancient Egypt. By the end, you will understand exactly why this text was built to be heard out loud.Prof. Gary Rendsburg is a Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University and the Blanche and Irving Laurie Chair of Jewish History. The author of seven books and nearly 230 articles, he is the scholar most associated with uncovering regional dialects inside biblical Hebrew, and his book How the Bible Is Written is the definitive guide to the literary machinery running underneath the text we read in translation.In this episode you will learn:How the first two words of Genesis echo each other in Hebrew, and what English readers lose instantlyWhy the biblical authors loaded names like Isaac, Jacob, and Moses with hidden meaningThe proof inside Isaiah 29 that these texts were performed aloud, not read in silenceHow Reuben's broken, confused Hebrew drops you into the mind of a terrified manThe northern dialect Prof. Rendsburg identified hiding inside the pages of the BibleWhy the story of Jacob in Aram is written in Hebrew deliberately flavored with AramaicWhat sitting with thousand year old manuscripts from the Cairo Geniza teaches that a printed Bible never couldHow the Exodus narrative quietly attacks the core theology of ancient EgyptWhat "Pharaoh's heart was heavy" actually meant to an audience that knew the Book of the DeadWhere to begin recovering this artistry even if you never learn a word of HebrewHow the Bible Is Written (Amazon):https://www.amazon.com/How-Bible-Written-Gary-Rendsburg/dp/1683071972Prof. Rendsburg's Faculty Page:https://jewishstudies.rutgers.edu/people/core-faculty/gary-a-rendsburgStay Connected with Johnny Ova and The Dig In Podcast:Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow all things Johnny:https://johnnyova.comGrab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset:https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Sermons Archive RSS 1 Corinthians 2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the [a]testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of [b]human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God [c]ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.9 But as it is written:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the [d]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Our society has neglected to raise boys to be great men. Modern culture has abandoned traditional rites of passage that demand a departure from boyhood and a transition into manhood. This stark reality is a problem that Alan Hahn not only observed but is addressing right now with a special ministry aimed at forging purpose and a brotherhood for boys. Boys, who are eagerly learning to become men of God. Alan is the CEO and founder of Iron Academy, a school that provides curriculum, community, and training for young men who seek courage, conviction, and honor rooted in the Word of God. Iron Academy is a Bible-based pathway for cultivating healthy, nurturing, and powerful manhood the way that God designed it. TAKEAWAYSCultural decline can be linked to the broad decline of strength in modern menModern culture has ‘dumbed down' what it means to be a manThe erosion of Biblical manhood ultimately hurts women and children in a variety of waysOne step men can take every day to become men of God: read the Bible and teach it to your children
Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Devang IG = d_fit_manThe fitness industry struggles with a respect problem. Whether in the United States or India, personal trainers often fight an uphill battle against stigmas that minimize their profession as "just a side hustle" rather than a legitimate career path. This eye-opening conversation with Devang, a fitness instructor from Gujarat, India, reveals surprising parallels in the challenges trainers face worldwide—and actionable strategies to overcome them.Devang shares his journey from engineering student to fitness professional, including the discouraging first question from his family: "Who's gonna marry you?" This response highlights the universal undervaluation of fitness careers despite their critical importance in addressing public health crises. In India, where only 4% of the 1.4 billion population engages in physical activity, metabolic diseases run rampant through generations of families.The podcast dives deep into why personal training lacks prestige—primarily due to minimal entry barriers compared to respected professions like medicine or law. When anyone with a good physique can become a trainer without certification, the profession's perceived value diminishes. This problem compounds when trainers receive only 30% of personal training fees in commercial gym settings while working grueling 12-16 hour days.The conversation shifts from problem to solution, outlining a blueprint for elevating the profession beyond collecting certifications. Successful trainers develop business acumen, network with healthcare professionals, and create comprehensive wellness centers that command respect. By building teams that include physical therapists and dieticians, trainers position themselves as integral parts of the healthcare ecosystem rather than isolated fitness specialists.Ready to transform your passion for fitness into a respected, sustainable career?

In this episode of the Kavod Family Podcast, the team continues the “Man of God and His Household” series by tackling a foundational call for every man: responsibility. Drawing from Psalm 127, they contrast two kinds of homes—the house of vanity and the house built by the Lord—and examine what it truly means for a man to manage his household with purpose and conviction.The home is not just where we rest—it's where we build. It's the first church, the first schoolhouse, and the first business. It's where faith, character, and legacy are formed. This conversation dives into four key areas: Time, Talent, Testimony, and Treasure, showing how each is a reflection of who you worship and how you lead.We talk about:Why responsibility starts with the manThe household as a reflection of worshipHow to evaluate your time, talents, and testimonyTeaching your children to love the standard, not just conform to itWhy your work and possessions must serve your family, not the other way aroundWhat it looks like to lead your wife with intentional time and attentionHow to train up children for kingdom fruit, not vanityYour wife, your children, your home—they are entrusted to your care. You are the only man called to lead your household. Don't leave the chair empty.

Malachi 4 & Matthew 9March 23rd, 2025Christus Victor. “An element of the atoning work of Christ that emphasizes the triumph of Christ over the evil powers of the world, through which he rescues his people and establishes a new relationship between God and the world. The evil powers of this world are real and active but not victorious. We were once slaves to sin but now we are free from sin.Sin once separated us from God but the victorious Christ has satisfied our sin and restored our relationship with our Father. A.W. Tozer “What you believe about God is the most important thing about you.” “What God did, God still does.” Malachi 4:1-6 (AMP) “For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the arrogant (proud, self-righteous, haughty), and every evildoer shall be stubble; and the day that is coming shall set them on fire,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But for you who fear My name [with awe-filled reverence] the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go forward and leap [joyfully] like calves [released] from the stall. 3 You will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” says the Lord of hosts. 4 “Remember [with thoughtful concern] the Law of Moses My servant, the statutes and the ordinances which I commanded him on [Mount] Horeb [to give] to all Israel. 5 “Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. 6 He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance], so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse [of complete destruction].”Matthew 9:18-21 (AMP) 18 While He was saying these things to them, a ruler (synagogue official) entered [the house] and kneeled down and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just now died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and began to accompany the ruler, with His disciples. 20 Then a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the [tassel] fringe of His outer robe; 21 for she had been saying to herself, “If I only touch His outer robe, I will be healed.” Matthew 8 & 9 records… The healing of a Roman soldier's servant, highlighting the faith of the soldierThe healing of Peter's mother in lawThe healing of a lame manThe resurrection of a Jewish ruler's daughterThe healing of a woman who was bold enough to push through a crowd to get to Jesus. The healing of two blind men:In the broadest of brush strokes, Jesus paints a few pictures in these 2 chapters: Access to Jesus has nothing to do with pedigree or prior Jesus knowledge or experience. Wherever Jesus is, His healing power is. Our faith gets us to Jesus but He is the healer.Tallit - Jewish Prayer ShawlTzitzits - Tassels woven into each corner of the TallitKanafayim – The 4 corners of the Tallit are called “wings.” The woman knew who she is reaching to and what she was reaching for “the sun of righteousness who will rise with healing in His wings.” Mark 5:29-34 (NIV)…29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. 30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?' ”32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Jesus' brief address added more healing. “Daughter” – Relationship Affirmed. “Your faith has healed you.” The amplified reads [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal]. Our faith moves us. Jesus heals us. “Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Go forward free! Isaiah 53:4-5 (NIV). Surely, he (Jesus) took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Why is it so hard for people today to believe that Jesus still divinely, miraculously heals people? Here are a few reasons…We are stuck in Saturday living with Sunday power available. Because not all healing prayers are met with divine healing but all are met with God's compassion. A Healing Prayer:God, I believe you can. I trust you if you don't. Here I come. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (AMP) 8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me; 9 but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. 10 So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God's strength].Psalm 57:1 (NIV) Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.Psalm 61:1-4 (NIV) Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Begegnungsorte wie Vereine, Schwimmbäder oder Kneipen werden weniger. Ein Verlust für das soziale Miteinander, aber auch für die Demokratie, die von diesem lebt. Wie finden wir wieder mehr und vielleicht auch ganz neue Orte der Begegnung? Heise, Katrin; Arns, Olaf; Manthe, Rainald www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Im Gespräch
At its height, Pompano Beach's Odd Breed in Pompano Beach was one of the best-regarded breweries in Florida, winning four GABF medals over a span of three years, and shipping mixed-culture beers to fans around the world. However, real-estate market forces ultimately worked against the niche brewery, and founder and brewer Matt Manthe closed up shop in the summer of 2024. That's no reason not to talk brewing, however, and Manthe learned plenty over his years shepherding his mixed cultures from homebrew to commercial scale, changing and adapting processes along the way. While he's now brewing classic lager and ale styles in the mountains of Colorado—at Dillon Dam, about 70 miles west of Denver—mixed-culture beers still hold a strong place in his heart. In this episode, he discusses: building a mixed culture through homebrewing shifting from mixed-culture to Saccharomyces fermentation to control acid production choosing primary strains, from London Ale III to 34/70, to optimize flavor, manage acidity, and more boosting hops with specific flavors and aromas for fermentation precursors challenges with fruit processing and refermentation the importance of not letting barrels sit unfilled blending very different base beers to achieve a finished product that's greater than the sum of its parts And more.

257– How do you show someone who you really are?You've probably heard the phrase, “When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.” I had a friend who used to say that all the time to remind herself that one person in particular she had been associated with in the past were not a good influence on her. She had been fooled by his attractive personality and the smooth words he spoke. But his actions, the way he actually treated her, were harmful and even abusive.It took her years to break away from the spell he had on her.It's important to show people who you really are and not try to fool anyone.Recently during my prayer time, God said to me: Show Me who you are.My first response was, “God, You already know me. You already know who and what I am. Why do You need me to show You who I am?”But God showed me what He was really asking.In this week's episode, I talk aboutGod showing Moses all His goodnessGod telling Moses to present himself to HimGod telling Job to stand before Him and show he was a manThe importance of acknowledging who you are as a child of GodDoing this in God's presenceYou can ask God to show you who He isAnd much moreWhen God asks you to show Him who you are, remember you are the salt of the earth, stand forth and let your light shine. The world will see that you belong to God and will see who you are by the way you live your life.Show notes:Full transcript and Bible quotes: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/257 Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 27th of August, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Matthew 13:16: “But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;…” The Lord has given us spiritual eyes and spiritual ears so that we can see and hear directly from Him. You and I need to lift up our eyes and open our ears much better. He who aims at the stars aims too low! We have got to aim higher, above the stars. 1 Corinthians 2:9: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”You know how much God has in store for you, why are we grovelling when we should be standing tall and aiming high? I want to ask you a question, how big is God? Well, God is as big as you allow Him to be in your life and today we need to lift up our eyes and open our ears.A very famous South African statesman, Jan Smuts said, “A man is not defeated by his opponents but by himself.” We really need to understand that. I remember going to Sweden, many, many years ago. We were praying in the vestry at the back of the church before the service started. One man said to me, ‘What are you doing over here? Why don't you go back to Africa? We don't have poverty or hunger here.” And then a lady started to cry. She said, “Angus, here we have everything that opens and closes - we have water that we can drink out of the lakes, we have the biggest trucks in the world but we keep Jesus in a matchbox and sometimes we just let Him out a little bit. Please pray for us. Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Don't tie God's hands by doubt and unbelief. Write that book that you want to write, start that business that you believe God wants you to start. Study and finish - to be that doctor that can help the poor and the sick. Train hard and be an international sportsman so that you can glorify God on the podium, like so many Christians have done in the Olympic Games. Do not limit God in your life.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 5th of May, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Psalm 31:19: “Oh, how great is Your goodness,Which You have laid up for those who fear You,Which You have prepared for those who trust in YouIn the presence of the sons of men!”Then we go straight to 1 Corinthians 2:9: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”Why do you and I always seem to settle for second best? The Lord has stored up such good things for you and I. He has stored up such good things for those who reverently respect God. Jesus has prepared so much for those who hold Him in affectionate reverence. Isn't that beautiful? I got that out of the Amplified Bible (affectionate reverence), for those who obey Him and for those who recognise the benefits that He has given to us.We think of the Prodigal Son. He had so much prepared for him, he had an inheritance. His father was a wealthy farmer. He was going to inherit part of that farm with his brother, but what did he do? He went and squandered everything he had, and if you look at Luke 15:16, he ended up thinking to himself, “I will gladly eat the food that the pigs are eating.”It's like a little child. Have you ever seen a little baby who gets a beautiful Christmas present or a birthday present with all that shiny bright paper and big ribbons around it? The baby undoes everything, and there is a beautiful gift awaiting that baby, but the baby ends up playing with the paper and the ribbons and doesn't even look at the gift.You know, a very sad story - King David who killed Goliath, I think he was only about 13 years old, he traded in his glorious future for a lustful affair with another man's wife. Oh, it cost him dearly. Yes, he repented and yes, God forgave him, but he paid a terrible price after that. You never hear of David killing any Goliaths after that affair.You and I today, rather let's wait for the beautiful promises which God has prepared for us, and He will bless us immensely. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Next up in our series of interviews from the 2023 Foeder for Thought festival, Kate Bernot is talking to Matt Manthe from Odd Breed Brewing in Pompano Beach, Florida. Most of the locations of the brewers we speak to at Foeder for Thought come from far and wide, and usually from places with more mild climates than Florida has to offer. So Matt and Odd Breed adapt their process and expectations to that reality, working with yeast strains and styles that provide the nuanced results they're looking for. He also talks about what it takes to help grow the audience for these beers in Florida, which is a younger scene that markets like California or the Northeast. One of the methods Matt enjoys most is fresh hopping his wild ales for a somewhat hybrid style of IPA and wild and sour beer that is delighting his fans.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 14th of February, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 40:28:“Have you not known?Have you not heard?The everlasting God, the Lord,The Creator of the ends of the earth,Neither faints nor is weary.His understanding is unsearchable.”Wow! He doesn't rest - He is awake, and He is waiting to hear you this morning, my dear friend. Then we go straight to the Book of Romans 11:34-35:“For who has known the mind of the Lord?Or who has become His counselor?”“Or who has first given to HimAnd it shall be repaid to him?”We can't give Him anything; He is God! No one, not even Albert Einstein, can know the mind of Christ. Now this Lord, this God, our God, He has a plan for you, and He has a plan for me. He says in 1 Corinthians 2:9: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” What a beautiful promise! As a 15-year-old boy, in Central Zambia, a place called Kitwe, I remember sitting on an ant hill as a young boy, and I used to dream of preaching to multitudes of people about my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Oh, folks, it has happened. Yes, more than once. Please today, do not limit God. Dream your dream. He did it and He still is doing it for me, and He can do it for you too. Have a wonderful day,Jesus bless you and goodbye.
I greet you in Jesus' precious name. It is Sunday morning, the 5th of November 2023, and this is your friend Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. We start with 1 Corinthians 2:9:But as it is written:"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him."Oh, that is good news, the best news I've heard today. I want you to visualise a little street urchin selling newspapers on a busy street corner in a big city like London or New York. He's trying to sell these newspapers, and to get rid of them, he needs to be convinced to convince other people to buy them. He is full of excitement and vitality. He's got a bundle of newspapers under his arm and one shaking up and down and saying to everyone walking past going to work, have you heard the good news? We've got the scoop. This is the good news. Hear ye, hear ye, the good news. The good news is a baby has been born in a village called Bethlehem in the country of Israel in the Middle East. His name is Emmanuel, God with us. Matthew 1:23:"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."You need to buy this newspaper today. Do you know that His father is country Carpenter? His mother, a beautiful young virgin who has never known a man - it's miraculous! Have you heard the good news? You know what's happened? He's grown into a very strong young man and they say that he is healing the sick. He's setting the captives free. He is actually raising the dead. Crowds are flocking towards Him to hear and see what He's doing. They say He is the son of God, but you know the best news of all? He's coming back again! Buy this newspaper, read it and then tell everybody the good news. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful Sunday and tell somebody the good news. Goodbye
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 7th of October, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in 1 Corinthians 2:9: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him."What a beautiful scripture! It has touched my heart so deeply this morning. Another translation says, "Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine, these are the many things God has in store for all His lovers." Isn't that beautiful? And yet another translation says, "No one has ever seen or heard anything like this, never so much as to imagine anything quite like it, what God has arranged for those who love Him."Oh, my dear friend, I love Him so much! You have got no idea how much I love Him. He's been with me through thick and thin. He has been with me when others have rejected me, when they have castigated me, when they have told lies about me, He has been with me. He has never once left me in over 40 years of ministry. You know, I just want to tell you about one highlight because this morning, this message is particularly for you, Sir, to encourage you that He has not forgotten you and in fact, that He has very special plans for you if you love Him. There is the qualification. Many years ago, a very, very dear friend of mine, the CEO of possibly the biggest publishing house in South Africa, came to me and said, "Angus, we are going to do a Bible for you, a Bible print for you." I couldn't believe it. I nearly passed out! You know how much I love the Bible. You will never see a photograph of me without me holding my Bible because the Bible is Jesus Christ in print. He said, "We are going to do a Bible for you, and we are going to put one of your devotionals running right through it from the Book of Genesis to Revelation.Well, I tell you, I was so overwhelmed - "Eye has not see, ear has not heard…" I held a banquet on the evening that it was printed. For the first time in my life, I went and hired a tuxedo. Can you imagine me in a tuxedo? We had a splendid evening, I invited all my special friends and those who have been involved with this ministry from the start, and we celebrated. I want to tell you, my dear friend, that even to be associated with the word of God blew my mind. I never dreamt in a million years that I would even have my name on the cover of a Bible. Now, I am not being disrespectful, not at all. It's the Bible with Grassroots Reflections. It is one of the dearest gifts the Lord could ever have given me. Today, He has plans for you if you love Him,Jesus bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 22nd of September, 2023 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 64 and I am reading verse 4: “For since the beginning of the worldMen have not heard nor perceived by the ear,Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”Then we go to 1 Corinthians 2:9-10: But as it is written:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”This morning, we need to start to think out of the box. Write that down somewhere. We need to stop limiting God. You see, the Lord has many things planned for you and me, my dear friend, but the problem is, we do not give Him an opportunity to show us what He has planned for us. You know, we read that first scripture:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,Nor have entered into the heart of manThe things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” We quote that quickly, and we don't always quote verse 10. You see, the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit is the one who gives us our game plan. Now, in order for Him to give us our game plan, we need to set ourselves apart so that He can speak to us. I want to tell you that every time the Lord has used me in any area which is much bigger than me (which is most times - I would never attempt such things in my own strength!) it has been when I have been fasting and praying.I remember going to a lake not far from our farm, Shalom, with a bucket of water and a one-man tent and I stayed there for a number of days until God spoke to me through His Spirit, and I clearly heard, “Go to the rugby stadium at Kings Park in Durban and book it for an event.” I was petrified but it was so clear. He never spoke to me audibly, I have never had that privilege, but He spoke clearly in my heart and through the scriptures, and the rest, as they say, is history.Today, lift up your eyes. Today, expect great things from God, attempt great things for God, as William Carey said, and you will be surprised, very pleasantly surprised, at what the Lord has in store for you.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

In a recent FiveThirtyEight poll, 60 percent of men surveyed said society puts pressure on men to behave in a way that is unhealthy or bad. Men account for 80 percent of suicides in the United States, and 3 in 10 men have suffered from depression. Ed Adams and Ed Frauenheim say a big part of the problem is a model of masculinity that's become outmoded and even dangerous, to both men and women.The conventional notion of what it means to be a man--what Adams and Frauenheim call "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, they propose a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship.Some of the topics covered in this one:A better definition of masculinity to better serve men and womenBetter ways to show up a manThe top commonalities among great leadersThe future direction of masculinity Surviving growing up as a male in societyThe damage done to young men growing up in the Man BoxAbout My Esteemed Guest, Ed Frauenheim:Ed Frauenheim was senior director of content at Great Place to Work--the research organization behind Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. He has written or cowritten articles for Fortune, Inc., and Wired and is the coauthor of three books.Ed Frauenheim has wrestled with what it means to be a man for four decades. In his personal and professional lives. As a young man, an adult, a father. As an observer of the best workplaces in the world. As cofounder of a group trying to reinvent organizations.The traditional male obsessions with winning, with brute strength, with becoming king of the corporate hill haunted Ed for much of his life. But through personal reflection, mindful practices, and plenty of help, he has come to redefine as worthy traits like emotional sensitivity, exuberance, and camaraderie. He's living a fuller life as a result.Ed has cowritten three other books, including A Great Place to Work for All: Better for Business, Better for People, Better for the World. In that book and other content, Ed has explored how our more-complex, interconnected economy is calling on men to break free of a narrow version of masculinity.
